Neighborhood Compost's Recycling Program
Not only does Neighborhood Compost help you keep your food scraps out of landfill, we are here to help you recycle items that you can't typically recycle curbside. We've partnered with TerraCycle Home to bring you Zero Waste Bags.
Our Customer Portal has Zero Waste Bags for you to pick from. Here are the items we can recycle for you:
